| Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system? Hi @seikosha Thanks!! I ask because I think very few of us who know about high efficiency speakers also know about small one's. :) So talking about specific brands really helps illustrate this strange new world for us. Best,E | |
| Richard Clark $10,000 Amplifier Challenge - Why Couldn't Anyone Pass this Test?? Theory is too difficult to do in these forums, especially without graphs, but let’s talk some real world effects.SoundStage Magazine online has a review for the Atma-Sphere MA-1 Mk II.2 mono-blocks:http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/atmasphere_ma1... | |
| Richard Clark $10,000 Amplifier Challenge - Why Couldn't Anyone Pass this Test??

| Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system? @seikosha Please name a few high-efficiency speakers which would fit in a modest living room for us! E | |

| Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system? What about their total footprint though for the maggies? I mean, don't they need a lot of floor space in front and behind? I'm waiting on someone to bring up small, horn loaded speakers like say the Hsu satellites:http://www.hsuresearch.com/produc... | |
| Apartment Dweller's Paradise - The Ideal 2 ch. system? Or skip subs altogether. :) | |

| Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably? Thanks to all of the contributors so far, this has turned out to be a great thread. I appreciate hearing about all of the experiences and especially about gear I never heard or saw myself. I want to take a moment to acknowledge that our pleasure, ... | |
| Speaker phase observation and question? Hi Almarg,I am definitely on team "easy to drive speakers." Get easy to drive speakers and a lot of amps will sound really great. Get demanding speakers, and your amp costs may go up considerably. So make sure if your speaker is demanding that it'... | |
